Idd, I don't doubt at all that he could do it, but he wouldn't use it in fight when he had the FTG

Chapter 240, page 09-10, Minato uses a technique which was claimed to be body flicker. No dust cloud from what I can see. And would there be a level of it so high that would make someone like Shinsui be reknown for it?

I think that the reason why Shisui was known for it was that he used it in battle. In on way it might even surpass FTG if you can use it with a highly accurate and low cost way. I can't see any other reason than battle that would make him feared for it, but how, really how, can he be the only one to use it this way and even get feared for it. But can it really surpass FTG, why wouldn't Minato use it insted of FTG when you don't need to place a seal? The first and very obvious reason is that FTG is 1000 times faster. The second is that since you don't need a seal and it's a far superior technique because it's a time space jutsu and Shunshin is just to move at a high speed with chakra. The third MIGHT be the chakra cost of it. So once again he could use Shunsin, but he would only need to use when going places where he don't have a FTG seal, that is if you can transport to a place you have never been before with Shunsin.

if he was know for his body flicker technique, then it mst have been something impressive considering it's a d-rank jutsu; also, shisui could've have used it with his sharingan genjutsu abilities, creating mirages.. i remember readin shisui the mirage somewhere o_O could've been a wrong translation, i don't know, but i do know i read it somewhere
